As she was giving up GOD spoke life into her ear and she fought back and here
she is. She has accomplished many things in her lupus battle however the one
thing that is rewarding to her the most is her family and friend’s support

human I have my days but “Through GOD I’m just built that way.” Kisha admits
that she will always educate others but most of all will always be coachable
